Michel Jouvet, an outstanding specialist in the physiology of sleep, masterfully combines cognition with fascination in his novel. The book is set in the XNUMXth century. The hero, Hugo Lasev, a freethinker and philosopher, is interested in the nature of dreams: their plots, mechanisms of origin and purpose. He fixes his own visions, discusses them with friends, and also embarks on long dangerous journeys. Despite the lightness of the plot, Jouvet’s book is a very serious reading: all the passages related to somnology (the science of sleep) are based on the research material of the author himself and his colleagues and contain information that can explain the essence of things that happen to each of us during sleep.
